Goodreads asked Boria Sax:

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Boria Sax We all have a profound need for solitude, yet there is very little place for it in contemporary life. So many tasks, expectations and opportunities are constantly clamoring for attention. Furthermore, Puritanical traditions make the time spent in solitude seem self-indulgent. But, as a writer, you have a good excuse for walking through the woods or simply brainstorming with a notebook. You are even allowed be distracted or idiosyncratic, because that is part of your vocation.
